Abstract

Systems and methods for generating compact models that include the effects of physical and electrical variations independent of available hardware data. A method includes generating a physics-based model using a technology computer-aided design (TCAD) of the one or more devices in a technology node. The method further includes deriving electrical parameters for the one or more devices from the physics-based model. The method further includes generating the compact model based on the derived electrical parameters.
